Computer Music

Hi Phil. Thanks for the invite to join WikiProject_Computer_Music. I'm interested in the subject but I'm not sure how much I can contribute to its revival as a Wikiproject. You might consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject_Media and meld some of the content into there. Also WikiProject_Biography might have a nice way to fit the Computer music artists into a class. You can use User:Pkirlin/CM or similar as a 'worksheet'. At some point the inactive Wikiprojects will most likely be subject to deletion. If you start such a page, please notify me and I'll put it on my watchlist. -- CQ 09:32, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Music projects

When you get it up and running, could you please let me know? :-) I know a number of Wikipedians who would be interested. A while ago I was thinking of doing some sort of "WikiProject - GFDL music" but wasn't aware that there was this project around. --HappyCamper 02:37, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hi Pkirlin, Googie Man here. I wanted to ask you something as a fellow Wikipedian baseball fan. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. I think also Wikicities would be an even better place to write your article on clutch hitting. You've clearly done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you'd like to get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man^(Talk), 20:30, 4 January 2006.

I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article Long Reliever. You did not provide an edit summary, and I could not determine whether the edit was vandalism or a constructive contribution. In the future, please use edit summaries. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. From review of your userpage, it would seem that the edit could have been in good faith, but in instances where something is blanked, I generally revert. Leave a message for me if I reverted in error. KC9CQJ 00:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

In that instance, I'll tag my revision as a mistake and redirect the article to Long reliever. Perhaps Long reliever (baseball) would be a better fit? KC9CQJ 00:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Whichever, you could tag the Long Reliever article as CSD if you really wanted. Yes, you get to be on my mistake page...all three of them :-) KC9CQJ 00:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Massachusetts/Maryland connection

Hi Pkirlin,

Just wanted to say hi because I too am a Baltimore Orioles fan living in Western Massachusetts. I grew up here; my parents are former UMass professors. I was born an O's fan since my uncle used to be a reliever for them (Dick Hall, retired in '71). I love to try to get down to Camden Yards at least once or twice a year. I also enjoy playing softball. BTW, I can't begin to say how jealous I am that you started the B&O Warehouse article! I'll have to contribute something useful to that one! Have a great one!--Mmpartee 15:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Harry Potter book 7

Hi there,

I'm working out a few new traces as to how things might go in the final Harry Potter book. I take my derivation from my latest reading all the 6 books. This thing about "Harry's Class" is entirely possible. It's even most likley that Ms. Rawling talked about Dumbledore's Army when she said someone from Harry's class would become a teacher at Hogwarts. So please don't delete the remarks about this from the article any more.

Yours Max --Maxl 23:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Computer Music

For more information about computer music I suggest that you watch the video "Music Meets the Computer," hosted by Max Mathews and John Chowning. To find it you can simply do a google video search or go here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7185099725785108063&q=Music+Meets+the+Computer&hl=en

Unfortunately, the video's sound cuts out after just over an hour but it should be a big help anyhow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.40.83.31 (talk) 03:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair use rationale for Image:CCBLlogo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CCBLlogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 19:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:CCBLlogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:CCBLlogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 19:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:User Softball Player

A tag has been placed on Template:User Softball Player requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Force out at third base, Dodgers vs Giants, 9-20-2009.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Force out at third base, Dodgers vs Giants, 9-20-2009.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:55, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
